Is hair on the sides/back generally thicker then on the top?

Even without male pattern baldness? Is hair on the sides/rear of your head generally thicker genetically, on females and males?

It is supposed to be even density all over, trust me I remember my hair still to remember it was same density all over.

I would like clarification also. I'm sure some people don't have it quite the same all over, even without male pattern baldness.

the back of anyones hair, toward the nape always seems to have a lot more density when grown out, even on people without male pattern baldness.
See uncle Jesse from like 1978 or something(john stamos)

andrien grenier from entourage

you can see how it poofs out more on the sides and back. not that the hairs are thinner on top, just seems like people have more density especially in the back

adrien grenier that mother f****r, his hair is so f*****g nice.....damn, i wish i had his genes

 

[Guest]

f*** you adrien :firing: :hairy:

 

[Guest]

Do you think adrien uses rogaine? I think that f****r uses rogaine, or at least propecia
i've seen him in entourage and he gots some b**ch tits going on, but he is actually quite skinny
must be the sides...... :freaked2:

Guys with hair that long look gay. I want a low buzz cut but you need a great hairline for that. Unfortunately mine is like a V shape when it should be more like a U shape to look effective with a buzz cut.

I've analyzed this a lot! The hair at the back-bottom is the thickest for me, my sides (also resistant to male pattern baldness) is considerably thinner. I' find myself looking at peoples heads trying to figure out thickness in varying regions, even while on the train :innocent: . In my belief, the 'shape' of the head sometimes determines which areas appear thinner or thicker, the top of the head and towards the forehead is curved, so even with the same density, the top would look thinner, gravity playing a role too.

I do density crime mapping at work. I really wish I could density map a 3d-model of my head. I know what appears thick, and I know what 'feels' thick. I wish I had numbers as it's hard counting your own grafts per sqcm, especially when the hair isn't short.

If I go for a hair transplant, I'd want a full analysis of grafts per sqm on the various regions of my head, to assess what kind of thickness I'll get for the density used. I also think concentrating a focussed amount of grafts in a certain area of one's head can amplify thickness. Sometimes headshape really makes a big difference just from anecdotal evidence. I also see a correlation of male pattern baldness areas being hard with little fat, and immune areas being quite lax and fatty. That however is not the 'reason' for hairloss, otherwise transplanted hairs into temples wouldn't survive as long as they do. It could be a contributory factor though, especially for DHT sensitive follicles.
